I was welcomed by the wet side today morning when I noticed the carpet was a bit wet on the side of the tank. The airline tube from the ATO got loose from the duck tape and released water on the floor!!!!!!!! My mistake that I used ducktape instead of airline holder. Have turned off the ATO for now till I get a holder. Atleast not much damage has been done. Any idea how to dry the carpet? I used iron to heat up the spots (used to do that before too) and let time dry it up.

Got myself a new toy :D

And resulted in this:

Too much flow and the sands started blowing around (although being 1.0-2.0mm grains). Had to turn it to L mode and can't use the fancies because of the sand storm. And fishes seem to struggle too. But I am very impressed with build quality. The magnet is freaking strong too! So much for the brand-lovers......

Will try to find a variable DC unit to control the speed. That should solve the problem :)

You should check out the huge thread on Reef Central. They are making all sorts of advances on how to make adjustable power. Looks like they have a good working idea using some sort of rheostat.

Almost 100 pages for you to read through lol -

Tunze
 
I added a couple of those tunze pumps to supplement my mp40's and am very impressed. I almost like them better than the correct pumps because they're far more quiet. I'm considering replacing all my vortex pumps with the tunze pumps.
